Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm using nvCOMP to load data from disk to GPU, and don't care about compression but do care about getting the best compression ratio possible.

Describe the solution you'd like
CompressionConfig has settings for each algorithm, for example gdeflate could max_hash_checks and lazy vs greedy matching.

Describe alternatives you've considered
If this is available through the low-level API, better documentation would be helpful.
